How To Make The Divi Blog Grid Equal Height

In this tutorial, I will show you how to equalize the height of the Divi Blog module grid "boxes" with a few extra bonuses.
Blog Post + Snippets: www.peeayecrea...
How do I make the blog grid equal height? This is a very common question for Divi users setting up the Blog module. There are no other tutorials on this, so as always we though we should provide a great solution for this need. So in this tutorial, I will show you how to equalize the Divi Blog module grid height.
There is already a solution provided by Elegant Themes in their chat support help docs called Blog Module equal height grid “boxes” with JavaScript. So credit goes to them for the original code, but we have improved it greatly and also will explain it much better than they do. We also include some bonus snippets, such as aligning the buttons to the bottom.

Hey Nelson, I have been following your tutorials for quite some time now and they have helped tremendously. If you feel like your efforts are ignored or not noticed, please use this comment to know that you are absolutely amazing! Great work man

[@lifesfluff]

please don't apologize some people do want to understand .. thank you for the help ... maybe adding time stamps for people :)

Purely as mental rambling, I found it easier stacking the posts and then using CSS Grid to get them to auto flow. I then used flexbox stretch in the grid cells to get them to go to the same height. I looked at the attached article which had a great breakdown of the jQuery code but could not see (apart from a few areas for adding customisation) where using the jQuery code would be better than doing it with CSS. I was hoping to get my head around it better so I was not missing the point if you get my drift.

[@lorenzozamagni4894]

man that was such a very copy paste fast fix. It worked perfectly. thank you so much!

[@PeeAyeCreative]

You're welcome!

[@ongjanette]

Thanks! I don't mind the "rambling" ;) it is a bit more complicated and a lot more code than I'm used to, but I like to know what's going on, and really appreciate all the work u do. I still can't quite wrap my head around the idea that something so simple with design will require so much backend work in a website! 😜 It's a good amount of effort to compile the code, and another extra bit of work to try to explain it as simply as possible for ppl like me. So thanks for sharing it on KZbin!

[@PeeAyeCreative]

I'm glad you appreciate it! I definitely felt off on this one, knowing it was overwhelming and difficult to break down well. But even so, a copy and paste is really all it takes, I just wanted to provide some education also 😊

[@ongjanette]

@@PeeAyeCreative oh, the explanation was clear and accessible enough even for me. Just saying the code looks intimidating. 😜

[@LeonieFurlow]

Thanks! Was tearing my hair out over this before I found this. I think I might be done before the next part.

[@MortenVestergaard1]

Wow.. Thank you Nelson. Just found your channel. Started using Divi about a month ago after using Avada for several years. I have been both awestruck and frustrated with the Divi theme after buying it. There are so many things that it doesn't do "out of the box" - for example you can't select how many columns you want to show in this blog module from the UI - you have to change it using CSS. ALso, I find there are so many things that one should be able to do using the builder - like really simple things such as a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } - you can't do that from the UI, it has to be done with CSS, but at the same time you can add other hover effects to links from the UI.. It doesn't makes sense to me the way it has been designed - like what you can do using the builder and what you have to use CSS and js for.. Well - I guess I just have to get more experience using the theme :) Anyway - just wanted to say, that I'm glad I found your channel. That will probably make the transition to Divi less painful.

[@PeeAyeCreative]

Divi was the first of it's kind, which means it is the oldest. So over the past 1.5 years and into the next year Divi is being rewritten from the ground up. So you want see many updates lately, but don't worry, once the foundation is ready it will be better than any competitor. I don't think Divi is missing much at this point. It is meant as a framework, so adding custom CSS and JS is usually beyond the core. Not always, but mostly.

[@blaircox1589]

I'm working on a client site and tried their 'official' method, however I couldn't get it to do anything. So happy to give your method a try! Thanks!

[@PeeAyeCreative]

Hope it works out for you!

[@blaircox1589]

@@PeeAyeCreative thought I'd reply here rather than the blog. I too have followed the tutorial and applied this to a recent client site that is just wrapping up. But as with the older method on Elegant themes in their blog/tutorial section, nothing happens. It's not throwing an error. I've found that if I start writing publicly, I suddenly find the issue - so giving this step a try ;)

[@blaircox1589]

Okay, setting line 3 to false, changes the heights of each entry to be equal, which is great. Just leaves the read more buttons/links after the content. So set to true (as provided in snippet), no change to the height or read more link position. Set to false, fixes the height.

Again another useful tutorial from Nelson, despite he seems a bit more disorganized than usual. My favorite Divi support blog.

[@PeeAyeCreative]

Can you tell me what feels disorganized? The nature of this tutorial is very complicated compared to most.

[@viktoriakiss3359]

@@PeeAyeCreative If this is not the right word, sorry for that. And please do not take it as a critique, as the content is great and I personally love his style. Yet when i.e. he says: "by the way, if you don't even care, then you are done" one may think what comes is not that important. After which he keeps laughing during the explanation, as if he did not believe that anyone is interested in or would get, what he explains. The tutorials I've seen from him up till now seemed more focused or confident. For someone, who is less biased (positively) about him than me, this may be strange. That is all I meant. But if you find my comment negative, I am more than happy to delete it or change it.

It works great for me except for some reason this creates a large gap between the end of the content and the end of the box (rather than just going to the height of the largest post, it extends further than that), is there any way to fix this?

How do I make it so there are 4 blog posts showing on one line? Whenever I have it set to 4, the 4th one is under the top three.
